In past programming I offered a long series of operas of the French baroque\, as recordings of them became available. The great innovator of French baroque opera was not a Frenchman by birth\, but an Italian from Florence whose name originally was Giovanni Battista Lulli\, francophied into Jean Baptiste Lully (1632-87).
